2. Finding the theme name – Meta ticket discussion
Few days back, @mmaattiiaass created a ticket, #7741 (Provide a tool to know if a theme name or slug is available and can be used in the theme directory) – Making WordPress.org And we discussed based on this during the meeting.
During the meeting, @poena shared a ticket link created around 7 years ago. #3002 (Interface for authors to find active installs for a potential theme name) – Making WordPress.org So, the issue was raised a long time ago.
@kafleg commented in both the tickets so that the conversation will be accessed easily on those both tickets.
During the meeting, attendees agreed to write a draft about how to find the unique theme name. @greenshady is happy to help with the outline and the draft. Instead of making a tool, proper information in the theme developer handbook will help theme authors find the unique name.
3. Open Floor
On the open floor, Justin asked about updating the Make Themes handbook and the potential for a specific meeting around that. KafleG is currently collecting the ideas. He will gather the ideas and plan for this dedicated meeting soon.
@digamberpradhan raised a concern about the WordPress playground and demo options. He will organize his thoughts and post at https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues
@luminuu is interested in leading the themes table during WCUS contributor day.
